Have you paid for a commercial version of VisualStudio. net lately? Windows has stable API's but the developer tools get real expensive real fast, the MFC libraries aren't installed along with a compiler as is linux. Now compare it with QT, you might also try kylix, anyone using Builder will feel right at home! Then there is the other POSIX OS, OSX develop for it and your linux port becomes that much easier.
